How Do Haloarchaea Synthesize Aromatic Amino Acids?

Genomic analysis of H. salinarum indicated that the de novo pathway for aromatic amino acid (AroAA) biosynthesis does not follow the classical pathway but begins from non-classical precursors, as is the case for M. jannaschii. The first two steps in the pathway were predicted to be carried out by genes OE1472F and OE1475F, while the 3rd step follows the canonical pathway involving gene OE1477R....

How do mammalian mitochondria synthesize proteins?

Mitochondria contain their own genome that is expressed by nuclear-encoded factors imported into the organelle. This review provides a summary of the current state of knowledge regarding the mechanism of protein translation in human mitochondria and the factors involved in this process.

Cation-p Interactions Involving Aromatic Amino Acids

The cation-p interaction is a general, strong, noncovalent binding force that is used throughout nature. The side chains of the aromatic amino acids [phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp)] provide a surface of negative electrostatic potential than can bind to a wide range of cations through a predominantly electrostatic interaction. In this brief overview, the fundamental na...
